CYNTHIA BRITAIN is a contemporary plein air artist from Laguna Beach,
California. Whether she is painting vistas in Crystal Cove, Californias
wine country of Frances bucolic villages, Ms. Britain works with
a quick brush stroke, using slow-drying oils. On finely textured linen
canvases, she focuses on recording the quality of light with precision
a camera cant catch before a scene shifts. Like the French Impressionists
who fled their studios in the 1860s to create works of art in the fleeting
light, her intent is to document atmospheric mood. Typically, thats
accomplished in less than two hours the brief window of time
normally available before a different quality of light moves in. Ms.
Britain is one of five signature members who co-founded the Laguna Plein
Air Painters Association in 1996. Her work is represented in numberous
California galleries. Her paintings have hung at The Laguna Art Museum,
Orange County Museum of Art and San Diego Museum of Art. She has received
dozens of awards and honors.
